Newbie, Help Needed.

[Deleted]

Hi all.
I am 1st time poster to this site but have been reading alot of the very helpful posts.

I started Vaping in the new year, But not fully, I still smoke as well, Before you have ago at me, I know only smoke 20 a day instead of 50-60.

The help I am after is I am have 2 Evod's, and an Aspire BDC, with 2 650mah ego batteries, and a 1000mah ego battery, Could anyone tell me what would be the next set-up I could use to help me get onto Vaping more, I have about £40 to spend.

Many Thanks in advance

@markdandav- hi and a warm welcome to the forum.
It sounds to me as though the logical next step would be a more powerful battery, ideally something with Variable Voltage and Wattage, where you have more active control over the power it pumps out. Something like the iStick is within your budget and would work well with both the Evods and the Aspire attie, and is not prohibitively large in your hand.
I'm sure there will be many more suggestions to follow!
As far as dual-fuelling is concerned, don't fret about it, just think of all the cigarettes you don't smoke during a day, and the money you are saving too!

hello welcome, dont worry about duel fueling slowly but surely you'll be of them, as in next setup what are you after box mod or tube mod?

People will recommend a eleaf istick or nearly anything that looks like an istick
a mvp 2 is a good step up both of these have built in battery.

Hello & welcome @markdandav

No way would we have a go - in fact congratulations for cutting down so much I also used to smoke a similar amount to you & it took me quite some time to give up the last couple a day

I've got to go out in a minute, so I'll leave it up to others to provide any links, but I'd suggest something with Variable voltage/wattage. Maybe an iStick.

ETA - ROFL - must learn to type faster

greetings and to AAEC @markdandav

most certainly go for a larger power source as recommended above. But do be aware that the I-Stick 20W can be tempremental with settings, so if you do choose this path be prepared to start off low and find your level over time.

Above all else, ENJOY.

A very BIG welcome to AAEC @markdandav - enjoy

Welcome @markdandav. I have a Smart 20 which is similar in every respect to the eleaf version. Probably made in the next door factory. It's good and I haven't had the problems some have experienced. Anyway back to the subject. In all honesty if the 30w had been available I would have got that one. That one is within your budget if you get it from China and are prepared to wait, along with a new atty. I like my GS Air. But everyone will give different advice, and you will make buying mistakes the same as us all. Well I have anyway. Go with what takes your fancy. I now have a Nautilus Mini, but it's a pain in the proverbial to unscrew to refill. So for that reason I would say don't buy it. If you want to get into recoiling, get something like a GT2. Cheap and cheerful and I have found it easy to work with as it has a big deck. If you are in a hurry to spend that dosh I'm afraid you will have to get from Blighty. China are all asleep now after celebrating on too much Sake and Whisky during the Year of whatever it is this year. And don't wake up till 25th of February.

I am not up with the latest gadgets @markdandav but seriously no one is going to have a go at your for 'duel fueling' (still on the stinkies whilst vaping). It's part of the process and there's so many variables with vaping that really, ask away if you have any probs and just keep trying

I was duel fueling for 3 months 3 years ago. problem was solved by upping my nicotine concentration. May help you, may not ....Sorry if it's of no help. But I know one thing - the crime is not going down but staying down so therefore

@markdandav
I think most if not everyone carries on smoking when they first start to vape you will eventually find yourself reaching for your vape rather than a cig more and more though
Aside from upgrading your equipment i found that trying out a variety of juice flavours helped me.
When i started vaping i was just buying tobacco flavours and never did find one i really liked or gave me the same taste as the real thing so i tended to reach for the ciggies quite a bit.
When i started trying out other flavours though like fruits i found i really enjoyed them and found myself preferring to vape rather than smoke.

Thank you, Everyone, I will take all your comments on board.

As for Nic % I did try 24% but found that I was getting too heady so dropped down to 18%.

I have just started no mix my own so might adjust that up to 20/22% Nic and see what happens.

phtumshk has a Smart 20 for sale here, they're identical to the iStick just a different name.

If that was something you were after it would save a long wait for delivery from China.

Welcome @markdandav to the forum. HUGE congratulations in more than halving the fags you consume. That is a real victory, and no one here will have a go, as you can see they will be supportive.

I duel fuelled for quite a while until I sorted myself out with a set up that suited me. I got an MPV2 with a couple of Mini Protanks. The MPV2 is old hat now, but it is a really solid bit of kit, although after 6 months of solid and daily vaping the battery is beginning to go a little bit.

If you go the stick route I would consider the 30w version. If you can stretch to £40/£50 there is quite a lot out there, including the MPV3 (which chykensa has bought) as well as some with replaceable batteries such as the SMOK XPRO.

Get Off My Cloud beat me to it but just incase you missed his comment allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/51040/ft-smart-20-black-new?page=1&scrollTo=887596 and then you have £20 to spend on a new atty
